I got 20K from my parents for my down payment when I was 45 and they still had to co-sign for me to get approved. No way in hell I could have gotten the house without them.

I got money from my ex’s family to buy my house in my 30’s.
only 40%, I guess this isnt tracking people who have no show jobs for their family business
Obama (or Illinois?) gave me 10k down payment in 2009 and I got a tiny townhome at 23 right after I got a job outta college. I stayed in it for 10 years and traded it in for a bigger house like a crab after I got married.
I was not money conscious at the time but my dad pretty much forced me to get a house if I had the means. I'm glad he did.
So I guess I was also gifted my down payment from my parents and other tax payers parents.
